SUMMARY

Android KDE connect remote keyboard doesn't work properly when host PC uses Russian keyboard layout.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

prerequisites:
Desktop linux has us (English US) and ru (Russian (DOS)) layouts installed, android phone has English US and Russian keyboard layouts installed and uses anysoftkeyboard (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.menny.android.anysoftkeyboard) with English and Russian layouts. 


1. switch keyboard layout to Russian on the host PC
2. start Remote input session in KDE connect android client
3. activate on-screen keyboard and switch keyboard layout to English
4. type some English characters

OBSERVED RESULT
Russian characters are typed on the host PC
EXPECTED RESULT
English characters should've been typed on the host PC

5. switch keyboard layout to Russian on android
6. type all Russian characters on the second row of the standard QWERTY/ЙЦУКЕНГ layout (фывапролджэ)

EXPECTED RESULT
all characters are typed (фывапролджэ)
OBSERVED RESULT
4 middle characters are not typed (фывлджэ)
